Notes:
  • Cover title.
  • "An extended version of the rhyme"--Osborne Coll.
  • Undated. Osborne suggests ca. 1830; BM dates one copy "1820?" and another "1840?".
  • Pearson includes 13 of the 15 engravings, without attribution; Osborne Coll. attributes them to A.R. Branston after George Cruikshank, though they are rather a miscellany and appear to be by various hands.
  • First sentence: "Once Jack and Jill Went up the hill, To fetch a pail of water; When Jack fell down, And broke his crown, And Jill came tumbling after."
  • Includes 15 woodcuts.
